About this experience
Step into the world of the ancient Maya on a guided tour of Chichén Itzá, one of Mexico’s most iconic archaeological sites. Discover the Pyramid of Kukulkan, the Temple of the Warriors, and the Great Ball Court as your guide shares the rich history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After exploring the ruins, cool off with a swim in Cenote Noolhá, a peaceful jungle cenote with crystal-clear waters. Depending on availability, we may visit Cenote Chichikan instead, known for its cave-like formations and mystical atmosphere.
End your journey in Valladolid, a charming colonial town where you’ll have free time to stroll colorful streets, browse local shops, or enjoy traditional Yucatecan cuisine before heading back.
